Peripheral detection of viruses shapes brain immunity and behavior in zebrafish

This study shows that viral detection by olfactory sensory neurons in zebrafish triggers neuroimmune responses and behavioral changes through PACAP signaling in the olfactory bulb.

Covert attention to obstacles biases zebrafish escape direction

This study shows larval zebrafish use visual information to avoid obstacles during escape, computing absolute distance rather than just visual occupancy.
